PARTNERSHIP FOR JEWISH SCHOOLS LIMITED

To advance education in England and Wales including but without limitation for those of Jewish faith. And to promote efficiency and effectiveness of charities and the effective use of charitable resources for the benefit of the public by providing services for schools and other educational bodies to promote good practice and to improve their financial, commercial and procurement activities.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

Financial issues to consider:

  • Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end
